SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - Single-family structures; SF-12 zoning.
South - Vacant; SF-12 zoning.
East - Single-family structures; SF-12 zoning.
West - Single-family structures; SF-12 zoning.
COMP~SIVE PLAN:
Single-family development is suggested for this area according to the
Comprehensive Plan.
ANALYSIS:
The North Lake Woodlands area that surrounds this tract is mostly built-
out. This is one of the few undeveloped parcels in the NLW area. If the
plat is approved as submitted, then it will very likely conform to what has
already been constructed in the subdivision.
One of the variance requests submitted along with the plat requires some
discussion. A request for a waiver of a concrete pavement and enclosed
drainage system is not unreasonable, since the area around the subdivision
has been developed in the same manner for many years now. To require
this applicant to install an underground drainage system would not serve
much purpose, because there are no nearby lines to connect to. The alley
waiver has been requested, so as to stay in line with the character of the
neighborhood, which does not include alleys. Other comments from staff
include:
1) Floodplain Administrator block should be shown on the
face of the plat.
2) The floodway easement should be tied down on the face of
the plat with distances from comers.
3) If the connection of the proposed 8' sewer line to the
existing 10' sewer line leaves the right-of-way of Rolling
Hills Road, then an off-site utility easement will be
required.
4) Utility plans should be submitted with the final plat.
